Hello,

newbie here.

I am beyond being a fan of the trilogy.

For me nothing will match the Eowyns' fight in ROTK, then Gandalf and Aragorns charge in ROTK.

If Peter Jackson has stuck closely to the book again TTT will be amazing.

i think he did a pretty good job on FOTR so i really do think that TTT will be F*cking krayzie.

Quick Poll

My dad first read it to my brother, my sister and myself when I was 5.

At what age was everyone forst exposed to The Lord of The Rings trilogy?

I have read the entire trilogy every other year since I was ten.

Re: Quick Poll

Movie was great, it should get Oscar Consideration.

LOL your Nuts Peter Jackson is a kick ass Director and I don’t think no one could of done a better job. If Tokken was still alive he would be proud! Yes Peter Jackson did some weird things like kill Boromir off in Fellowship of the Ring when he is suppose to die in the first chapter of Two Towers but oh well stuff like that has to be done to make the movie good. Man at least Peter Jackson can direct and make the movie good unlike George Lucas and what he did to Episode 2 man he cant direct. That proves that writers should not direct movies because they turn out like crap! :P

Posted by MovieGod on 11-16-2002 09:19 PM:

Yes I agree, George Lucas unfortunately had ruined his own "vision" of Episode 2, don't get me wrong, i like the movie, just the "vision" leading to the showdown of Episode 3, The Clone Wars was all wrong.

Totally agree with you, ever since the first three SW's George's eye's have been set on one thing, and one thing only: Money. His sell out is so obvious in his marketing of toys, books, video games, t-shirts etc that he blankets kids with. I just wish Joseph Campbell were still around as I imagine he'd knock some sense into Lucas for forgetting the loyal SW fan base that used to stand in line for days for tickets to the shows, and forgetting what made his movies so special in the first place.

Alrighty, and yes the movie was quite awesome, the first 25 minutes if worth the price of admission alone.

Their fates lie at the two towers Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupted wizard Saruman awaits and Sauron's fortress at Barad-dur where the battle of good and evil reaches definite epic proportions.

The Two Towers of the title are Isengard (Orthanc) and either Minas Tirith (the white tower of Gondor) or Cirith Ungol, not Barad-dûr. No-one goes near Barard-dûr as it would be suicide, especially whilst carrying the ring.

not to change the subject AGAIN
but Grorge luscas is cool
EP II was great!
It makes alot of money because it IS great.
Personally i dont have or have not seen the dvd, but i do have a 3 disc svcd ,however, there is no extra scene showing vader slaughtering sand people; if there was, it would have been, in my opinion, a masterpiece like EMPIRE!

eposide II did have for me a few bouts of dad directing tho, like having vader just fall asleep after his arm got sawed off LIKE IT WOULD BE THAT EASY, shock or some thing I guess, thoes two subtractions make me feel like Lucas is gearing the film a bit more than necassary to a younger audience, whick sucks.

showdown between WHO?

this is the only thing i found regarding a script http://1starwars.4t.com/Star%20Wars%20Episode%20III.htm

Heh...and you call yourself a Star Wars fan? Well, I'm assumeing you're a Star Wars fan, heh!!! In any case...

The showdown that's comming is between Vader (Anakin) and Obi Wan.....remember in Episode IV, when Vader and Ben meet in the Death Star, and Vader says:

"Last time we met, I was but a learner, now I AM the master"?

Obviously Anakin and Obi Wan get into it after Anakin kills off most of the Jedi.

(I have to say this, one of the coolest lines in Ep2 was Obi Wan saying to Anakin:

"You're going to be the death of me!"

I just thought that was sweet...)

What I'm wondering is, will the Emperor sling some light in this last film?

Sorry for running off topic there, couldn't resist....

If you noticed, most of them died at the end of Episode II.

I've got this feeling that Episode III is gonna be a huge pile of cack. There's a lot to get through before the start of EpIV. Nevermind, I'll still be there to see it opening night!

I hear ya bro! I'm thinkin this one will either be the best one out of all, or the worst....too soon to tell.

Yea, I noticed some of um died on Geonosis, but surely there's got to be many many more than just 20 or so.

Posted by eliteRaider on 11-21-2002 06:19 PM:

Quality of TTT?

When the movie is released, does anyone know what type of quality it will be? Like last year for the FOTR an amazing svcd verson was released...will it be the same for this year?

Posted by Starscreamer on 11-21-2002 07:52 PM:

I ah...wtf dude, you think we got a crystal ball or somthing, heh! How would we know the quality of a release that hasn't been rls'd yet?

Oh wait....it's coming to me now! It's going to be, it's going to be.....

Posted by jedi420 on 11-21-2002 08:28 PM:

dude im a huge starwars fan also, but was i the only one dissapointed with EP2? i mean the last 20 minutes was cool, but thats about it.

I have read the books and even in the trailer Click here for The Two Towers Trailer and as far as I can see The Two Towers mainly concerns Aragorn, Pippin, Merry, Legolas, Gimli and Gandalf's adventures after the breaking of the fellowship save for Frodo and Sam's meet with Shelob (which will not be included in the movie but instead in The Return of the King). And as such it confronts the assaults of Sauron from his stronghold in Barad-dûr, and the attacks upon Rohan by Saruman from Orthanc in Isengard. Plus considering Cirith Ungol is not a tower or building for that matter but more of a passage through the mountains of shadow into Mordor, of course you may have it confused with Minas Morgul. If I am at fault on this please correct me.
